One of Stan Herd’s paintings depicts Gypsum Hills Scenic Byway.

A one-day show this afternoon in Topeka will feature paintings of Kansas’ scenic byways by Lawrence artist Stan Herd.

Herd was commissioned by the Kansas Department of Transportation, Kansas Department of Commerce and Kansas Arts Commission to paint nine depictions of the state’s scenic highways. Four of the paintings in the “Painted Byways” series are being featured on $2 Instant Scratch tickets from the Kansas Lottery, and non-winning tickets can be entered to win one of Herd’s paintings, valued at $5,000 each.

All nine of the paintings will be on display from noon to 3 p.m. today at SouthWind Gallery, 3074 S.W. 29th St. in Topeka. A limited number of prints will be available for sale, and Herd will be on hand to sign them today.

As part of the “Painted Byways,” Herd will be touring the state, making public appearances.

A separate exhibit of new Kansas landscapes by Herd opens today at SouthWind.
